Hi tgyb,
“You have to just verify it in your Mac .Avoid quitting the mail app from activity monitor for a day or two .”
Are you advising that I should leave Mail open for a day or two? What is the objective? In all probability — and until this problem is corrected — Mail’s continuous heavy packet exchanges will surely compromise any other internet activity! Is there reason to believe that if I contend with this, there’s hope this “problem” will eventually correct itself?
And… Mail showed up in Activity Monitor only because the Mail application was open at the time! If Mail were not open, I would not have expected to see Mail contributing to any internet activity! That screen shot was provided only to show Mail’s heavy internet activity… with no discernible accomplishments…
“If it still shows in activity monitor , first consult with apple support advisor , then force quit the mail application .”
Again… with what objective? I need to know wherein lies the possibility of a cure? My 3 years of “Apple Care Protection Plan” on this iMac expired last November. Is it possible Apple can provide knowledgeable assistance for a fee?
Is there an advantage to closing Mail via “Force Quit?” Closing out Mail normally, however, does take about a minute.
